    On December 1, U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John A. Heffern and Armenian
    officials and guests participated in the opening ceremony of the newly
    renovated kitchen and sanitary facilities in kindergartens in the
    Kanaker-Zeytun (No.161) and Achapnyak (No. 46) districts of Yerevan.

    The USG-supported renovation projects were implemented by International
    Relief and Development (IRD).

    The preschools were constructed in the 1970s and had fallen into
    disrepair. Over a three-month period, IRD implemented the two
    renovation projects with support from the U.S. Department of State
    and co-funding from the Church of Latter-day Saint Charities. The
    Kanaker-Zeytun Community Governor's contribution to the project
    supported purchase of a large electrical range for the kitchen. The
    renovation project addressed important humanitarian needs and
    improved food hygiene and sanitary conditions for the preschoolsÕ~[
    children. IRD also provided clothes, quilts, and school supplies to
    the children.

    Since 1992, the U.S. Department of State has been providing
    humanitarian assistance throughout the region through projects known
    collectively as Operation Provide Hope (OPH). To date, assistance
    valued at USD $405 million has been directed to Armenia through OPH
    to benefit needy populations including the elderly, disabled, orphans,
    children, and victims of disaster.
